### 4.3.3.4 Time Exceeded

When a router is forwarding a packet and the TTL field of the packet is reduced to 0, the requirements of section [5.2.3.8] apply.

When the router is reassembling a packet that is destined for the router, it is acting as an Internet host. [INTRO:2]'s reassembly requirements therefore apply.

When the router receives (i.e., is destined for the router) a Time Exceeded message, it MUST comply with [INTRO:2].
